โผ๏ธ๐จโฆ๏ธ๐ท๐บ What did Russian Emperor Peter the Great think about the Talmudic Tribeโ
โI would rather see people of the Mohammedan & pagan faiths than Jews among my subjects. They are swindlers and deceivers.
I am eradicating evil, not cultivating it; there will be no place for them in Russia, neither for residence nor for trade.โ
- Tsar Peter responding negatively to Dutch East India Company administrator Nicolaes Witsen, who proposed to invite Talmudic Jewish merchants into Russia for trading (1698).
๐ฎ๐ฑ Throughout Peter the Greatโs entire reign (1682-1725) Jews were forbidden from entering into the Russian Empire, and sanctions were imposed on trading and importing of goods.
